Courtyard by Marriott Palm Desert

Courtyard by Marriott Palm Desert

10/10 Excellent
"I want to compliment the front desk staff, Callie, when we checked in on Sunday. She provided excellent customer service that I have not experienced in a long time. We arrived early, but Callie was able to accommodate my request for an early check-in. During the wait, she recommended places to shop and eat, along with directions, while we waited for the room to be prepared; she offered to store our luggage and took our phone number to call us as soon as the room became available. On our return, she offered us goodie bags because of the overhead construction. We were so tired that we didn't hear anything. The guy who worked Sunday was great as well. I failed to get his name. It was extremely hot that day, but your staff made the trip enjoyable."
